Care shall be taken to see that the concrete is laid in proper level by using one of the above methods.

All concrete surfaces shall have an even and clean finish free from honeycombs, air bubbles, fins or
other blemishes and reasonable smooth. The form work joint marks on concrete work exposed to
view shall be rubbed with carborundum stone and defects patched up with paste of cement mortar
(1:1) and cured.

After removal of forms, the concrete shall be inspected and holes left by form bolts, etc., shall be
filled–up and made good with Cement Mortar.

All superficial defects such as honeycombing, rough patches, etc., shall be made good.
